I'd park myself at #9. My wife and I are conservative, and so, is our church, but not so plain anymore. Clear as mud, I know.

I think part of the issue then is that some of us believe Anabaptist are the same/ can be the same.

David Bercot is an Anabaptist kingdom Christian. If you vote for option 12, you are saying that you are not Anabaptist.
There are also people who refer to themselves as kingdom Christians, but not as Anabaptists.

There are Anabaptist kingdom Christians, Church of Christ kingdom Christians, Followers of the Way kingdom Christians, etc.
Anabaptist kingdom Christians can check one of those choices.
The other sorts of kingdom Christians who define it as Bercot does can check option 12.
I will ask the moderators to change the wording of #12 to help diminish confusion.

I assume non-plain conservative means evangelical but not wearing skirts, head coverings, or holding to nonresistance

I am unclear on what exactly Old Order would mean. My own group is a mixture of plain and Old Order (for example, we don't tolerate Bible studies or prayer meetings)

I find it interesting to see what percentage of the population of various US states consider themselves Evangelical.
